COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course objectives

Acquiring a basic knowledge of basic organic chemistry that involves mastering practical laboratory techniques used in the synthesis, isolation, purification and identification of organic compounds.

Course enrolment requirements and entry competences required for the course

Enrolled in or passed the course Organic Chemistry

Learning outcomes expected at the level of the course (4 to 10 learning outcomes)

After completing the course, the student will be able to use laboratory techniques (such as recrystallization, distillation, extraction, reflux, chromatography, infrared spectroscopy, etc.), for
(i) purification,
(ii) isolation,
(iii) synthesis, and
(iv) identification of the organic compounds.

Course content broken down in detail by weekly class schedule (syllabus)

1. Laboratory safety and rules. Isolation and purification of organic compounds. Crystallization and melting point determination. Distillation. Extraction. Test. (4 hours)
Organic compounds synthesis.
2. Nucleophilic aromatic substitution. The preparation of phenol (diazotation). Test. (9 hours)
3. Nucleophilic addition. The preparation of benzyl-alcohol and benzoic acid (Cannizzaro reaction). Test. (4 hours)
4. Nucleophilic substitution. The preparation of acetanilide (acylation). Test. (4 hours)
5. Electrophylic aromatic substitution. The preparation of p-nitroacetanilide and p-nitroaniline (nitration and hydrolysis). Test. (5 hours)
6. Oxidation-reduction reaction. The preparation of 2-butanone. Test. (4 hours)
Chromatography.
7. Thin-layer chromatography. Column chromatography. Test. (5 hours)
Organic compounds characterization.
8. Characteristic reactions of functional groups. Test. (5 hours)
9. Methods of spectroscopic analysis. (UV/Vis, FTIR). Test. (4 hours)

Student responsibilities

Screening student work (name the proportion of ECTS credits for eachactivity so that the total number of ECTS credits is equal to the ECTS value of the course):

Class attendance	0.0	Research	0.0	Practical training	0.0
Experimental work	1.5	Report	0.0
Essay	0.0	Seminar essay	0.0
Tests	1.0	Oral exam	0.5
Written exam	0.0	Project	0.0

Grading and evaluating student work in class and at the final exam

The student pass the exam if all tests are positive and all the laboratory exercises are performed. The final grade is based on the evaluation of tests and experimental work.
Test scoring: <60% insufficient; 60-70% sufficient (2); 70-80% good (3); 80-90% very good (4); 90-100% excellent (5)

Quality assurance methods that ensure the acquisition of exit competences

Quality assurance will be performed at three levels:
(1) University Level; (2) Faculty Level by Quality Control Committee; (3) Lecturer’s Level.
